1-Rule Fares
In this example, we are using the 'Booking Size' rule, where bookings with 4 or more tickets will get a different rate compared to bookings with 3 or fewer tickets.

Booking Size
We set up our rates to the below values:
| Regular Rate (CZK) | Fare Rate (CZK) |
Adult | 200 | 150 |
Child | 100 | 80 |
Family | 400 | 300 |
Notice how the price changes from 200 to 150 CZK depending on the number of tickets selected in the booking:
Fares Example
Fares with AND Conjunctive Operator
We have added a 1 hour 'Notice' rule to our previous 'Booking Size', therefore the booking now has to satisfy two conditions: the booking size must be 4 or more tickets AND it must be less than 1 hour before travel date (tour start).

AND Conjunctive Operator Example
Fares with OR Conjunctive Operator
We have changed our conjunctive operator from AND to OR, therefore the booking has to satisfy only one of the conditions: either booking at least 4 tickets OR the booking must be made within 1 hour before travel date.

No-Rule Fare
No-rule fares are empty fares that override the application of your fares and applies your normal rates instead. This comes in handy when a one-time event has the potential to draw in more customers and you can forego fares that would otherwise apply.

Fare Groups
We created fares for summer and winter seasons using the Occupancy rule. Each season requires different occupancy rules to reflect the levels of demand - higher in summer and lower in winter at varying degrees.
We created fares for summer and winter seasons using the Occupancy rule. Each season requires different occupancy rules to reflect the levels of demand - higher in summer and lower in winter at varying degrees.
Our seasons are setup as follows:
Season | From-To |
SUMMER | 1st April - 30th September |
WINTER | 1st October - 31 March |
We then created two fare groups - SUMMER and WINTER. Each fare has a corresponding retail price, offset by the level of occupancy, as shown in the table below.
Fare Group | Fare | Occupancy | Price |
SUMMER | Summer High | > 60% | €55 |
SUMMER | Summer Medium | > 20% | €50 |
SUMMER | Summer Low | >= 0% | €45 |
WINTER | Winter High | > 80% | €50 |
WINTER | Winter Medium | > 40% | €45 |
WINTER | Winter Low | >= 0% | €40 |
In the General Availability tab, we selected the 'Month'-'Weekday' modifiers to set up seasonal pricing. By switching the view from 'Capacity to 'Fare Group', we can see how seasons are assigned. Then, we assigned each month to the corresponding fare group - either SUMMER or WINTER - in the availability detail.
Fare Groups Example
When making a booking, prices automatically adjust to both seasonal demand and occupancy levels. Here are some examples of how the above setup is applied when making a booking:
November (WINTER fare group, no bookings - 0% occupancy): the Winter Low fare is applied, the ticket price is €40.
April (SUMMER fare group, no bookings - 0% occupancy): the Summer Low fare is applied, the ticket price is €45.
June (SUMMER fare group, more than 20% occupancy - 19 out of 25 spots are available: the Summer Medium fare is applied, the ticket price is €50.
